This is Indonesian man,named Dede, first noticed the warts on his body after cutting his knee when he was a teenager. Over time, as the horn-like extensions grew to cover most of his body, hje was sacked from his job, deserted be his wife and shunned by neighbors. After dealing with this problem for over two decades, the 37 year-old man, dubbed "The Tree Man", went under surgery and 95 percent of warts have been removed after nine operations. 'He cannot be 100 percent cured, but his life quality has improved. If once he depended on others to do his activities, now he can eat by himself, use his hand to write, use the cell-phone', said Dr Rachmad Dinata, one of his doctors. The warts on Dede's body were a result of severe Human Papilloma Virus infection. They might be re-grow, but at least the disease is not life-threatening anymore.
